'''Last Updated: 2023-08-24'''
<br>
This guide will explain what Glacier and Dim Glacier Weapons are while providing examples.
<br>
Also provides tips on farming them and answering frequently asked questions (FAQs).

== What Are Glacier Weapons? ==
Glacier weapons are a new archetype of mid-game weapons introduced in Episode 19.
<br>
They all require Lv 210 to be equipped.
<br>
<br>
At first glace they seem bad because all of them only provides MATK bonus and have no slot.
<br>
But what makes them powerful are their customizable enchants.
<br>
<br>
They reach their most cost-effective potential when fully enchanted and refined to +9, which is easy to achieve since they are Lv 5 weapons.
<br>

=== Possible Enchants ===
'''NOTE: '''
<br>
This is a brief summary of what the enchants do.
<br>
Some of the Job Skill enchants work differently such as the 4th slot enchant {{#item:311221}}.
<br>
See detailed list of all possible enchants [https://muhro.eu/wiki/index.php/Equipment_Issgard#Perfect_Enchant_(Slot_1) here].

== What Are Dim Glacier Weapons? ==
Dim Glacier weapons are another set of new archetype weapons introduced in Episode 19.
<br>
They all require Lv 230 to be equipped.
<br>
Unlike Glacier, Dim Glacier weapons are one of (if not) the best end-game weapons available as of Episode 19.
<br>
<br>
They are similar to Glacier weapons in which on their own they only give MATK, but have powerful enchants.
<br>
But what makes them truly powerful is their 2nd slot enchant which must be '''upgraded 4 times'''.
<br>
<br>
Their only downside is they are not suited for classes that uses multiple skills due to how their 3rd and 4th enchant works.
<br>
<br>
They also have their own refining hammer ({{#item:101637}}) which is ''technically'' free to use while you're making the weapon.
<br>
This makes them one of the cheapest weapons to maximize.

=== Possible Enchants ===
'''NOTE: '''
<br>
This is a brief summary of what the enchants do.
<br>
Some of the Job Skill enchants work differently such as the 4th slot enchant {{#item:311221}}.
<br>
See detailed list of all possible enchants [https://muhro.eu/wiki/index.php/Equipment_Issgard#Perfect_Enchant_(Slot_3)_7 here].

== Dim Glacier Farming Tips ==
Before going into farming Dim Glacier weapons, here are some tips to improve your farm efficiency.

=== Always Use Bubble Gum ===
All Dim Glacier weapons have a drop rate of 2.74%, meaning that they are somewhat rare.
<br>
{{#item:12210}} doubles this into 5.48% so you will roughly get 1 in 20 monster kills instead of 40.

=== Prepare Your Setups ===
The most common setup is:
# Have an empty storage
# Have a hotkey for the command '''@storeall''' and '''@return'''
# Pick a dungeon or field you can directly warp into (common places are Snake Pit and Abandoned Pit)
<br>
Farming Dim Glacier weapons fill up your weight really fast, so you will be going back and forth between town and dungeon.
<br>
Whenever you hit full weight, do these steps:
# Use '''@return'''
# Click on '''Healer''' so all your items get identified (or you can identify them later using the '''Healer''' in the extractor room)
# Open the empty storage you've prepared before
# Use '''@storeall''' - this will dump all your inventory into the storage
# Use warper to get back into the dungeon
<br>
You can prevent specific items to from getting dumped into storage by '''@storeall''' by putting them in the Favorites Tab.

=== Always Grade At +11 ===
Due to how rare {{#item:1001036}} is, you will most likely have an overabundance of the other materials unless you are buying from other players.
<br>
Since they won't be used after you complete your weapon, it's better to spend them on refining the weapon to +11 using {{#item:101637}}.
<br>
This means you will have better odds at grading from No Grade to D and from D to C.

=== Store All Your Other Items When Using Extractor ===
Destroying the weapon requires them to be in your inventory and they aren't exactly light.
<br>
It is highly recommended to put away all your gears and inventories to storage so you can carry additional weapons to the extractor.
<br>
This also prevents you from accidentally destroying the Dim Glacier you are using.

== FAQs ==
=== Should I get a Glacier weapon? ===
If you're just starting out and are still using Paradise weapon, 99% of time the answer is yes.
<br>
Glacier weapon is such a good cost-effective upgrade because it requires no grading and only needs to be refined to +9.

=== Should I get a Dim Glacier weapon? ===
Most probably yes. There are plenty of other end-game weapon choices, but most won't be that much better or worse.
<br>
Also thanks to {{#item:101637}} it is very easy to refine and grade it to Grade A +12.

=== What enchants should I get for my weapon? ===
Ask around in the discord, plenty of people are willing to answer your question!
<br>
Though most of the time you will want Size/Race/Element/ATK or MATK.

=== How to refine Glacier and Dim Glacier weapons? ===
They are both Lv 5 weapons, meaning you simply need {{#item:1000332}} to refine them.
<br>
More details regarding refining odds, how to get {{#item:1000332}}, and penalty of failing the refine [https://muhro.eu/wiki/index.php/Refinement here].
<br>
<br>
'''TLDR - Get 120 {{#item:1000332}} and keep smashing that Refine button until you hit +9.'''
<br>
Given average luck, that amount should be more than enough.
<br>
<br>
For Dim Glacier weapons, once you hit +9 proceed to use {{#item:101637}} until +11 (or +12 if you're already at Grade A).

=== Is there a faster way to use the extractor? ===
There's no other way than increasing your Weight Limit right now so you can carry more weapons from the storage.
<br>
Suggestions have been made in the forum, but for now you just have to repeat the process manually.
<br>
I've been there. I made 2 Dim Glacier weapons and I'm fed up already.
